We had an EXCELLENT tour with Kevin, and thoroughly enjoyed our visit of the Castle of Versailles. Kevin was not only extremely knowledgeable of the history, but was also very personable with us - making this a truly enjoyable learning experience for our group. With our half day tour, we managed to see all the highlights of the castle as well as the amazing gardens and grounds. With his recommendation we rented golf carts, which maximized our time and allowed us to experience the grandness of the entire property. He took special care, particularly with my 85 year old mother, establishing a good pace without sacrificing the experience for the rest of our group of 6. The transportation to and from the castle was comfortable and the entire time was filled. Kevin is an excellent guide and everyone in our group agreed, we all hope to have the chance to see him again on future visits to the area - and of course would highly recommend him.

Bonjour! I'm Kevin, an art enthusiast and your licensed private guide here in Paris. In 2009, I completed my degree in Art History at Chambre de Commerce de Versailles. This became a turning point for me to share my knowledge in history by working as a tour guide in 2013. What I love about private guided tours is that my clients can enjoy the tour exclusively without the hassle from another group. It can be a family-oriented tour or for friends where we can easily customize the itinerary based on your interests. My experience as a guide taught me to speak not only in French and English but also in Spanish and Portuguese. Good communication is always the key to enjoy your stay here in Paris. Spring or summer is the best time to visit Paris where you sit on the grass in a park with your wine, cheese, and bread overlooking the beautiful gardens. Touring the most famous and largest royal residence in the world which is Versailles is one of my favorites. I'm comfortable telling stories about this most beautiful achievement of 18th-century French art. Giverny is another story. It is considered as part of the "plus beaux villages de France" (most beautiful villages in France). We can also visit famous landmarks in Paris such as the Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysées, Louvre Museum and more! I believe for most people, visiting Paris is a dream come true. Let me help you make this once in a lifetime experience worth your every penny and time. Let's start making memories in Paris. You will never be bored. See you soon!

We’ll end with a serene stroll through the stunning Versailles Gardens, where groves, fountains, and grand perspectives reveal the true genius of French landscape design.

Kevin was a fantastic guide and made us feel so comfortable in Versailles. He was so great at getting us through the crowds and making sure that we saw all the amazing details in each room. He also helped our teen pose for some fantastic photos in the Hall of Mirrors. His knowledge of history, art, and the unique "fun facts" of Versailles made for a wonderful day. I would recommend this tour to anyone!
My clients had the most fabulous time on this tour!!
Wow! Seeing Versailles with Kevin was amazing. I cannot overstate how great Kevin made the day and how essential he was for making the time great. Kevin knows how to best see the rooms of Versailles and navigate the crowds to get the best experience there. Also, when outdoors Kevin knows exactly where to go in the gardens to see the best sites. Kevin is an expert at keeping children engaged as well (we had a 6 and 8 year old in our group). If you are looking for somebody who has studied the space and knows all the details of history and can weave it into a captivating story then Kevin is your guy. Thank you Kevin!!!
Kevin did a great job. He was very knowledgable of the location and provided great access. He was great especially with the two kids. He provided insight both at the location and enroute. He had a good sense of of humor too!
